Protein Supreme

Working in a restaurant can be a dangerous job: Slip and fall on a freshly mopped floor, get stood up by a masked man and be demanded of all the money in the register, or a gas leak......BOOM! These are all possibilities. Though the most commonly feared situation is being bored due to the lack of customers, which leads to eating everything in sight. (Food industry people, you know what Im talking about) 

I've fallen into this path a few too many times. It's hard to keep health and fitness goals insight with binge eating readily at your finger tips. You have to be strong with your eating habits in order to get the results you desire. Unfortunately the restaurant I work, the food choices aren't the healthiest, especially the pizzas; but should there be such a pie dubbed "The Healthy Pizza"?

Today, I went on limb with little knowledge of how to to make one, but I challenged myself with a carb-free zza and thoroughly enjoyed it.

If you are guilty of falling into this slump, You can read on to see the steps I took to make this simple, delicious, healthy, protein packed pizza:

Ingredients:(serving size for 1)

-1/2 lbs 80% lean ground beef
-1/2 cup chopped mushroom
-1/2 cup chopped white onions
-1/2 cup chopped bell peppers
-1 Tbs tomato sauce
-1 Tbs olive oil
-1/4 cup flour

Tools:
-12"X12" piece of wax paper
-cooking tray
-oven

With the wax paper lightly floured, pound out the 1/2 pound of ground beef into a shape of a circle to about 1/4 thick. When the patty has reached your desire shape and size, take the cooking tray and lightly coat with olive. You will then peel the patty from the wax paper, and lay on the spread of oil on the cooking tray. Preheat oven to 450; when oven is ready slide the zza, and let cook for 10 min. When 10 mins have reached, remove the patty from the oven and then top the pizza with the chopped veggies. Throw back in the oven for another 10-15 mins till cooked to you desired finish: medium rare, medium, well done, etc.

Cut and enjoy.
